KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Come January 2026, every Singaporean household will receive S$300 in CDC Vouchers — no application, no means test.
If you’ve claimed before, the process will feel very familiar.
If this is your first time, don’t worry — it’s straightforward.
Here’s what actually matters, minus the fluff.
The S$300 payout is the second part of the S$800 CDC Vouchers announced under Budget 2025.
Who is eligible?
Very simple rule.
If your household has at least one Singapore Citizen, you qualify.
It doesn’t matter:
- Who owns the flat
- How many people live there
- Income level
One household = one S$300 payout.
How much you’ll get and how it’s split
Total value: S$300
Based on previous tranches, the vouchers are usually split into:
- Heartland merchants & hawkers
- Supermarkets
The exact split will be shown clearly during the claim process.
No guessing. No manual allocation.

Don’t rush. You have almost a full year to use them.
How to claim the S$300 (step by step)
This takes about 2 minutes.
- One household member logs in using Singpass
- Visit the official CDC voucher portal when it opens
- Claim the January 2026 tranche
- Receive a unique QR voucher link via SMS (gov.sg sender)
- Share the link with family members if needed
That’s it.
No physical vouchers. No collection points.
Where you can spend the vouchers
You can use them at:
- Participating hawkers
- Heartland shops
- Supermarkets
There’s a shop locator on the official CDC site to check nearby stalls and stores.
Tip: Always confirm the sticker before ordering.
What if you don’t use all your vouchers?
You won’t lose them immediately.
After expiry, there’s usually a donation campaign where you can:
- Pledge unused voucher value
- Donate to an approved charity (IPC)
- The value goes as cash support to charities
This happened for previous tranches and is expected again.
Good option if you genuinely don’t need the balance.
Important scam warnings (please read)
This is where people get caught.
Remember:
- Only claim from the official CDC portal
- Only trust SMS from gov.sg
- No one will ask for:
- Bank logins
- OTPs
- Money transfers
- App downloads
If anything feels off, stop immediately.
When in doubt, check with official government channels or ScamShield.
Practical tips to stretch your S$300
Use supermarkets wisely
Spend those vouchers on essentials like rice, oil, milk.
Heartland vouchers = daily meals
Perfect for kopi, hawker food, haircuts, small services.
Share carefully
Anyone with the QR link can spend the balance.
There is no reversal if shared wrongly.
Ask before ordering
Some stalls prefer full voucher payment instead of splitting.
